Re: Strict rules for St Paisius Convent, Arizona pilgrims
There are a lot of fairly young nuns that joined after the move to Arizona. I do not know the exact number of those from Forestville vs those who joined after the move. I think most are converts but I'm not certain. I have a friend that frequents the monastery and who is also a spiritual child of Ge...

Re: Strict rules for St Paisius Convent, Arizona pilgrims
Barbara, my understanding is that the nuns moved to Arizona specifically to be under the spiritual guidance of Elder Ephraim. Fr. Seraphim Rose, as you probably know, spoke much of the importance of being connected with living links to Holy Tradition. After the repose of Fr. Seraphim, and the proble...

Re: Strict rules for St Paisius Convent, Arizona pilgrims
I don't think this has been said already, but the monastery is under the spiritual guidance of Fr. Paisios, the abbot of St. Anthony's Monastery under Elder Ephraim.

Re: Podvig–Our Most Important Commitment - Bp. Stefan of Tre
I think Bp Stefan is stellar, too. Out of the constellation of TOC hierarchs, he is one of the greatest. He is strict. Recently, a personage wanted to be ordained a priest but Bp Stefan refused him because his wife had divorced him. Yet, isnt' Bishop Stefan himself divorced? I do not remember, but ...

Re: theologoumena
As far as I know, the term "theologoumenon" is not found anywhere in the writings of the Holy Fathers, but is rather a term that was made popular by the liberal Protestant theologian Adolf von Harnack in his 7 volume History of Dogma, circa 1885.

Re: Orthodox Psychotherapy
I have never read "Orthodox Psychotherapy", though I have wanted to for quite some time. I agree that it is best to read the saints and Fathers directly, and generally it is best to not read contemporary authors. However, Met Hierotheos is one of the very few contemporary authors that I wo...
